Say we’ll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids
And none of them will look at all like us, and our neighbors will all be a bit too much
And you’ll live out in the desert with a man you never loved

Is this it?
What you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you’ll find I’ve got my baggage too

Say we’ll get famous and we’ll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But will love you all the same because you’re beautiful

Say you didn’t see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn’t mean it that I mean nothing to you
Like you said
Do you believe me?
That I’ll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to

We were born playing in the wreckage
Buried down on birds with stones
Bore my weight upon your shoulders
Water as warm as morning suns
I don’t think quite like I used to
I got a bed to call my own
I see stars and painted lies
Broken glass upon your road
Now I’m driving home too soon

Woah woah
Say you love me like you used to

And we’ll vacation first class
I’m breaking your fall
You’re breaking my ass
You’re working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you’re ok
You’re faking, fucked up
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I’ll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby

I say I’ll be damned if we can make it out of this alive
But is this what you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you’ll find I’ve got my baggage too

Oh and say we’ll get famous and we’ll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But we’ll love you all the same because you’re beautiful

Say you didn’t see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn’t mean it that I mean nothing to you
Like you said do you believe me?
That I’ll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to

Woah
Say you love me like you used to

And we’ll vacation first class
I’m breaking your fall
You’re breaking my ass
You’re working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you’re ok
You’re faking
Fucked up!
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I’ll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby!

I say I’ll be damned if we can make it out of this alive

But is this what you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you’ll find I’ve got my baggage too

Say we’ll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids

My InterpretationI think this is about a man who wants a woman in his life but he feels like he isn't good enough for her when they get together. He thinks about getting together in the beginning, and then through the chorus with "is this what you want?" And "Am I enough for you?" He's struggling to feel like he's enough for her.
